I'm guessing here, but I'm betting you can steer your boat astern by
just increasing/decreasing throttle on one or the other of the engines?



I don't recall the boat ever doing anything other then going straight back

started up.

Interesting, G another test for next year?

Cats don't prop walk to the same extent as monos.
Probably the same reason they don't tack as easily.

I wonder how much of this is attributed to hull spacing and length.
